basket for baby

12.04.2012

It’s been slow and steady on the sewing front. I guess I just haven’t felt that ‘need’ to make like I usually do. But you know what, there are babies arriving in these parts, and if anything gets me sewing — it’s babies!

I saw this pin on pinterest and really thought it would be a super nice idea for a new baby gift filled with goodies. So I messed around and came up with this lovely little divided handled basket. I really like the way it turned out. Filled it with some diapers, lotion, a treat for mom, a sleeper, and a handful of these pre-fold diaper burp cloths that I added some trim to (totally copied Gail on the whole burp cloth idea).

I would love a tutorial, too! With our first baby due in April, I’ve been looking for something just like this to go on the changing table! I love the bright and happy colors of yours. What a lucky recipient!

anna! that divided basket! i saw that same pin and have been looking for a pattern/tutorial to make it ever since – it’s perfect, you’re soooo good!! and of course i love that you did the burp cloths that way, so easy, eh?

Omigosh so awesome!! Yes please on the pattern/tutorial for a divided basket! Soooo useful in a kid room and definitely a great gift. You’re the bag/basket/tote genius of blogland, I swear. Love Gail’s idea for the contrast trim on burp rags too!

Seriously, I pinned the exact same pin on pinterest… at least I think so. I pinned it a couple of weeks ago and I loved loved loved it. I think that yours looks fabulous and I know the person receiving it will be so thankful. Great job

The basket is absolutely adorable! Though there will be no more newborns in this house, my daughter would love this for her baby dolls. And a larger basket would do great hiding all the toys in the evening
